PORTUGAL. • Ve following Letter contains some inteiroting pan i cu l ars of ale recent vielories in Portugal: - r ,`,~: " VIMEIRA, AUG. 22.—Since I wrote to y4itl'a, few days ago,, we have had a most glorious and me morable day for England. The French attacked us Yesterday in our position, with their whole force, near 1.x,000 men. The attack was expetted at day? break, and would have been so, had they not been delayed by the roads. We had laid by our arms about two boors, after turning opt before day-break as usual, when the 40th (part of General FERGUSON S brigade) had their picquet driven in, and we beat to a rras. Our noble General (FcßovsoN), of, wbosee gallantry and conduct it is.almost impossible to give an idea, was soon on the mountain; -our quartearte— ing about half a mile off, in the small towniof,Vi rneira. From thence we could perceive the enemy atlyancine. to attack the centre of the army, and.a strong column marching with •cavatry and artillery to turn the hill on which our brigade was;, but as they had to make a considerable round, .we had full time to prep are . Sir A. WELLESLEY,. who commanded, (Sir H. BURRARD being landed), ,ordered up several brigades, and made a most masterly diaposi tion. The centre of the ,army, from which we Were „divided by a deep valley, was now attacked. with great vigour ; but the. French received such a deck, that we, soon- bad the glory of, seeing them staggered, and then relax in their attack: • At this time General FERGUSON'S brigade, and that under General SPENCER, who commanded this wing, were briskly attacked; General FERGUSON, iu about half-an-hour after the fire ototneneed; °nitre& his k , rigaile to char,ge, leading himself in a manner be 3cond all praise; it is enough to. say, the Com 'bander in pilief considers pith as 'having-most con tributed to the ccampletest victory. that would be oh, tained , without cavalry to follow it up. " The-French gave way; and were followed with three cheers, by the -whole brigade; a part rallied, bltt the 36th' and 71st charged them with an -irre sistible impetuosity, led on by General FERGUSON, and - drove them' from their guns, of which they tour leur, with as many tumbrils... The victory was now certain, though they again rallied once more, and Were again dispersed by the 71St; our artillery com pleted the triumph of this glorious - day. To speak of the cond u ct o f any body, would iu me seem pre sumption ; every soldier- seemed a hero. The fire for some time was tremendous, and the field strewed with our brave fellows. In charging the guns, my horse, a beautiful creature I had received but a few• days before from Oporto, and which cost tne moidores, was shot in several places, and tell dekltl.— . r,got on another belonging to a dragoon, but so'tired . he could not move ; and 1 had the cloak shot away from before me. I thought it high time to - dis mount, and joined the. 36th, who were advancing,: and with them I had the honour to remain during the rest of the action. " The loss of the French is very great ; upwards of 3000 - killed and wounded left on. the field; besides Prisoners. Our army lost abOut 700, -and a good . I1)aoy Officets. y " The French army was commanded b y JUNO T , LOISON,CHAILOT, and BRENIER; the two latter were taken with a great many Officers, and 13 Pit:ces of cannon. ski" We Could a d ore F ERGUS O N for his bravery, sll, and coolness,. in a fire- like hail aboUt him.-- ts ord er l y , a fine fellow of the 20t h D ragoons , . ea was shot close to him, and I tear cannot live. if, a s _ poor f r i en d S TUART , of the 9th, died two days afte r t h e b attle at Molissa, universally lamented. I have not time to -write any more particulars ; atn very much fatigued, having been yesterday,till past five P. m. collecting the wounded Eoglish and .Icrench, and Concluding them to a place of sated..:-- I am very happy to tell you none of our Staff ‘iie're killed. I wish we had adVanced to-day, and follbW • ed up ou r victory, with ou t g i v ing the enemy time to rally from a cheek they are so little used to." The following enumeration of the dignities, char ges, and employments accumulated in the person of the PRINCE OF PEACE, the late all-powerful Mini ster of Spain, is extraded from the Treaty of Alli ance Concluded in 1795 between him and Mr. 11I"CKN€Y, as Plenipotentiaries on behalf of Spain t and th e U nited States of America ;—" Dot MA-, I.

And, in addition to the "oregoing, he was, about twoyearsago,invested with the dignity of Admiral-General of the Kingdom. A Spanish Gentleman reached London yesterday, who had been conveyed from Bremen to Heligdland e from whence he was sent to England. He left ambro' on the Lath August, at which time the people•of that city had received no letters from Spain or Portugal for upwards of three months. This cir cumstance was considered very extraordinary, and naturally created much suspicion ; but the rec . :int affairs of Spain, even the fa& of the capture of:frie l French Fleet,. had been kept in profound secrecy. On his way towards Bremen, he witnessed the march of many thousands of troops towards Holstein, for the purpose of assisting to quell the disturbances Which had • broken out there among the Spaniards. At Rhensburgh (he had been informed) BERNA- PorrE, .haranguing.the Spanish troops who were in that town, reflected too poiniedly on what he called their disaffeelion, on which a Spanish Otlieer drew a poniard from under his cloak, and buried it in4kt; hart of the insulting Frenchman.

NELSON.-A circumstance, of great singularity occurredio his Lordship at Ham burgh, relative to a wine-merchant. This Gewle;.. Man, who was more than seventy years of age, and of a very respedable appearance, had requested to 'Speak with Lady HAMILTON. Her Ladyship, ac cordingly, condescendingly admitted him to a pri vate audience ; when he informed her, through the tedium of Mr. OLIOER, who interpreted. for both .. parties, that - he had some excellent old Rhenish.' wine, of the vintage: of 1625, and 'which 'had . been in his - own possession more than fifty years.----' This, he said, had, been preserved for some very extraordinary' occasion ; and one had now ar- - rived, far beyond any he could eter have ex .'"pkted. In short, he frattered himself that, by the kind recommendation of her' Ladyship, the 1; great and glorious Lord NELSON might be pre vailed on to accept six; dozen bottles of this in comparable wine : part of which be observed, would them have the honour to flow with the heart's blood of that immortal hero . ; a reflection which could not fail to render himself the most fortunate man in existence, during the remainder of his days. His Lordship, being informed of these curious , particu lars, immediately came into the apartment, and took the old Gentleman kindly by the: hand, but politely declined his present. He was, however, finally persuaded to accept of six bottles, on condition that the wine-merchant should dine with him next day. This being readily agreed,•a• dozen bottles were sent ; and his Lordship jocosely remarking that he yet hoped to .have half a dozen more great victories, pro-. tested he would keep six bottles of his ilainburgh friend's wine, purposely to drink a, bottle after eacti. This his Lot dship did not fail to re►nember, on con ing home, after the battle of Copenhagen ; when fie devoutly drank the donor." It is said, that this wine-Merchant, soon after Lord NELSON had first taken him by the hand, happening to meet with an old friend, who was about to salute him in a way, immediately declined the intended kindness', and said he could not suffer any person to touch the hand which bad been so highly honoured by re 3teiving that of Lord NELSON. Certain it is, that this man felt so overcome by his excessive sensibi . lity, that he literally shed tears of joy curing the whole titn.. tie was in ,our hero's, presence. TALL HIGHLANDEU.-This gigantic Caledonian died lately in Doke-street. He was 7 feet 4 inches high. He fought at Crown Roint in Ametica,in the year 1759, and when, by a wound he received from a slant hanger, part of the guts or ilia was laid open, he, in. this dreadtUl condition, killed two French osoldiers, and took an officer prisoner. This gallant —action was rewarded by his present Majesty with a pension of e.. a day for life. Part of the old buildings in Palace-yard are now removed, and Westminster-bridge is,seen from the Hall.
